We have launched a new Gatsby tutorial: "Creating a Source Plugin"! The goal of this tutorial is to help you create a fully-featured source plugin for Gatsby. Along the way, you'll learn key concepts and patterns of Gatsby and its plugin system. You'll source data from an example third-party API, populate Gatsby's data store and use it inside your example site.
Learn how to use Gatsby GraphQL Type Generation in this detailed post by Gatsby Senior Software Engineer Lennart Jörgens.
TypeScript support in Gatsby is even better now! Learn how you can start a new project with TypeScript in Gatsby and benefit from all the new features.
Only want to build out the most popular pages as static pages? No problem, you can use your analytics tool to control the usage of Deferred Static Generation in Gatsby. In choosing what pages to defer you can improve your page on a granular and individual level -- but for how you'd do this the sky is really the limit. In this tutorial you'll learn how you can use data from your analytics tool.
The new File System Route API allows you to move route creation logic out of gatsby-node.js and into the file name of the template itself. This eliminates the need for gatsby-node.js entirely for most route creation use cases -- and helps devs create sites faster!
Users of the theme get access to specialized React components that help with building a multilingual site. In addition the theme helps to automate most of the manual tasks required to add i18n support to MDX-based websites.
As lead engineer on the Gatsby i18n initiative, I knew right from the start that internationalization and localization are multi-faceted problems requiring an iterative solution process with involvement from the community. To best understand what this process should look like, I needed to identify the current pain points as well what future considerations need to be kept in mind in designing a solution.
